If you are in the right part of the world you can see the solar eclipse, if you aren't you can watch it live on NASA TV.

A newly discovered comet, C/2008 O1, is also scheduled to have it closet approach to the sun during the eclipse, astronomers may be able to track it while it is sucked into the sun.


Also, the Phoenix Mars Lander has confirmed water on Mars:

No problem,

totality is already over, it was a tense time for geeks due to cloud cover up until about 30 seconds till totality. you could hear the people that travelled half way around the world to see it freaking out on NASA TV.
